Yobo gets Fenerbache mate’s praise

Super Eagles Skipper Joseph Yobo and his co-defenders performance in the 1-0 away win in the UEL tie against French giants Olumpic Marseille have been described by team mate Dirk Kuyt as one worthy of praise.

Yobo played all 90 minutes of the encounter as he helped Fenerbache to defend a one goal lead they took 40 minutes into the encounter and see off the game at 1-0 despite the attacking abilities of The Phoenicians.

Kuyt who was part of the winning squad believes that the defense line was spectacular on the night and so they deserve to be thanked for a clean sheet.

“It is very important to work hard in matches and that is exactly what we did today.

“We worked very hard this evening with all of my friends. It’s a great feeling to have won in France and I’m happy with our result.

“The defense was fantastic. The lads did a great job and I’m happy with everybody’s contribution against Marseille.”

40th minute goal from Bekir Irtegün gave Fenerbache a 1-0 away victory over Olympic Marseille on Thursday. The win means that the Yellow Canaries are group C leaders and have therefore secured a spot in the final 32.
